My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A mystery surfaces behind the walls in the new Do-It-Yourself series.

Avery Baker and her boyfriend, Derek Ellis, are flipping a seriously stigmatized house rumored to have ghosts. Soon they’ll have even bigger problems — and this renovation project might haunt them forever.


Really enjoying this series. I love the characters and the mysteries are interesting although I have to admit that I figured this one out early.
Great cozy series!

Avery Baker was once a New York designer, but inheriting her aunt's old Maine cottage has led her down a new career path - home renovation. Now, with help from hunky handyman Derek Ellis, Avery starts learning the ABC's of DIY. But when the designer-turned-renovator finds clues that lead to a missing professor, she wonders if she can finish the house - without getting finished off in the process.



Very good start to what is a new series for me. I love the characters, the mystery was not over the top and the main character is not an all out sleuth, she just happens upon the mystery. Thinking that this is going to be a great series.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Mikki and the others live at 'the farm' - an advanced learning facility, a think-tank for a bunch of young people with very high IQs. But what is really going on at the farm? And what about the five much younger children knwn as the Babies, frail as butterflies?
Brian Caswell's new novel explores the powerof love - and presents readers with an intriguing jigsaw puzzle of suspense'


This book was okay. The plot seemed familiar, the story did not have a lot of depth, but it was an interesting idea and played out interestingly enough to keep me reading.

One Foot in the Grave (The Halflife Chronicles, #1) by Wm. Mark Simmons

One Foot in the Grave by Wm. Mark Simmons

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Christopher Csejthe doesn't believe in vampires--until he becomes one. He doesn't believe in witches or werewolves, either. Then they make him an offer he can't refuse.


Wonderful read. I love this author's writing style and sense of humor. Very much looking forward to more of his books.
